It's the Hive Mind, I am equally inspired and entertained by your content :-)

Yes, the Hive to HBD trade is tricky and can be completely messed up if you can't strike at the right moment, another issue is the price in the internal markets does not always reflect the quoted price, even the liquidity pools can give a bad rate at times, so you'll need a good margin of safety, no point making the trade with a 10% difference very often.

I have a feeling though, that at current prices, it is not going to be TOO difficult to catch Hive at 50% above current price, at least sometime in the next 12mts,

My problem is keeping focus, sticking with conviction to my strategy and not forgetting it in a month and raiding my resources to fund something else ( err..CA packs !!..lol!). I write things down in a note book to remind me, but sometimes the original conviction is overwhelmed by some current excitement.

You seem to be good at staying disciplined, that is a great trait to have
